Save parents money? Surely you jest ;)

#HeWhoDiesWithTheMostFollowersWins ;)

All so true! Just add the kool aid drinking dream of a scholarship (all youth sports not just cheer) that parents have also fallen for hook, line and sinker. They have your/our number and they're laughing all the way to the bank.

Ironically it was the Omni that accidentally handed a receipt to one of our parents that paid through STP...prices showed more than $100/less a night. Regardless, I agree that it does, in a sense boil down to supply and demand, however STP has created a "supply/demand" scenario that pushes up...

I do not doubt that these kids/families need and appreciate the financial help because I suspect, in a similar model to "brand ambassadors" for bows and t-shirts and such, these kids are being used by the corporation/company to promote the brand (on their parent's dime) while basking in the...

So...what is GoFundMe's % (that they skim off the top of donations) these days?

Exactly! There is nothing you can do. Just as there is nothing parents can do. There was an attempt...it failed...kumbaya. At least you, as a large gym owner, will see some positive...meanwhile the bottom feeders (aka the parents) better just stay hooked up to the koolaid IV. And let me make it...

I didn't say "industry". I said "control" :) Think back to the dawn of the "Champions League"...

I agree and disagree. I truly don't believe anyone had the proverbial "wool" pulled over their eyes...It was just easier to play naive and reap the profits. ETA: never seen a bunch of folks grow totally silent the way gym owners did a few years ago after their futile attempt to "take control"

The yelling to embarrass him back may be a great tactic for your everyday whistling, lewd comment speaking creep... but I am talking about creeps on an entirely differently level. Not just "guys will be guys" creeps... but those who truly have a screw (or 100) loose. Trust me when I say you can...

By what logic? The logic that there are tons of creepers out there that aren't as obvious as this guy? I certainly am NOT blaming the "victims" and or suggesting that anyone should forgo the skirt or the party... I am just advising that everyone should pay more attention to, among other things...

I can't shimmy this enough. And for every oh so obvious creeper like this guy there are 100s of others on the down low. Just because they are following "other people you know" does not make them safe.

And please insist that they be provided with a safe space in case they don't win.

looks like it was PCM Huntington Beach (changing names? franchises?)

if Cali Coed wins... that means CA takes small, medium and large coed *the blue and black CA ;)

I know. And my best advice is get used to it. And even when your team wins... understand there will be some who are side eyeing the placements. This "sport" needs to change things up because at this point it is clear as mud.

smoke and mirrors ;) That is why people are asking for transparency on scores... because there are all sorts of possible shenanigans. As I always say "pay no attention to that man behind the curtain". CP took that Worlds mat three years ago for the last time and still... same ole.

I loved my retired cheer daughter's reaction to getting silver... She said "now I can accessorize both ways --- gold and silver" (but yes, she was understandably disappointed)

yes, that was the year my CP was in it and boy do I remember that fun - we joke they did what they did (won) because the other teams weren't as used to crazy practice schedules.
